does it take a lot of time to study for the science olympiad?

<p>i want to organize a science olympiad team but im afraid that it will spend me a lot of time to study for it.
does anybody has any experience?if so,did it spend you so much time that you had no time on studying for your school's test and SAT/ACT?</p>

<p>Good question! I’m doing Sci Olymps for the first time this year (just for fun, since I’m a senior and apps will already be in), so I’m interested in the answer, too.</p>

<p>My friends who did it junior year seemed to really only get serious about it in the month or so before the competition, but I have nooo idea how much studying they did. (Some events require none, though, I know that much.)</p>
